The National Hurricane Center reports an area of low pressure over the southeast United States is moving toward the northeast Gulf of Mexico, where it could develop into a tropical depression.

As of 2 a.m. Tuesday NHC forecasts the area of low pressure will form over the northeastern Gulf of Mexico by Wednesday.

There is currently a 40% chance the low pressure forms into a tropical depression in the next 48 hours; however, once it moves over the Gulf and over the next five days, a tropical depression has an 80% chance to form.
